Chapter 1589: Chapter 798: Military Support (2)

Then why did their group of five turn into four?

Because Chen Bing was still in charge of protecting Zou Cha.

Once they arrived at the hotel, Red-haired walked in like it was his own backyard, completely familiar with the place. This time he didn’t bring a single underling, because the more people he brought, the more likely it would arouse the other side’s suspicion.

On top of that, after being taught a lesson by Lin Beichen before, he’d realized that no matter how many people he brought, it didn’t seem to be of any use.

Red-haired led Lin Beichen and the others into an elevator reserved only for VIPs. It was also thanks to the staff here knowing Red-haired; otherwise they wouldn’t even have gotten through the door and would have been questioned.

They took the elevator to the top floor, the most luxurious part of the hotel.

This entire floor even had a big club, and that was where Red-haired brought Lin Beichen and the others.

Then Red-haired lowered his voice and said to Lin Beichen, "Back then, all of us bosses from the Freedom City factions met the other side in here."

"He also said, if there’s any trouble or any news about you, just come here to find him."

Red-haired knew he was already on Lin Beichen’s boat; there was no way to turn back now. He might as well spill everything—maybe he could still carve out a way to survive under Lin Beichen.

Li Kui cursed, "You damn turncoat, why didn’t you mention this earlier?"

"Brother Li, I... I forgot before."

"Really forgot, Brother Li."

"Ah—Brother Li, don’t hit my head."

Lin Beichen ignored Li Kui bullying Red-haired and instead used the system to scan the entire hotel.

He found there were quite a few hidden tricks in this hotel; there was even a secret floor.

"So where are their people now?" Lin Beichen asked Red-haired.

"I’ll go ask." Red-haired glanced at Li Kui, then walked over toward the staff member in charge of the club.

Seeing Lin Beichen had something for Red-haired to do, Li Kui stopped picking on him—getting the job done was more important.

"Hey, still remember me?"

"Where did your boss go?"

"I’ve got something to talk to her about."

Red-haired went up putting on a super familiar attitude.

In reality, he’d only seen this person once before, that was all.

But it was thanks to him dyeing his hair bright red—way too eye‑catching—once you saw him, it was almost impossible to forget.

This person really did remember he’d been here before.

"Our boss is in the office. Wait here a moment, I’ll go notify her right away."

That was also thanks to their boss having said once that if there was any situation, they could come report to her.

Otherwise, if Red-haired came over, he’d hardly be welcome.

After that, Red-haired swaggered back, looking at Li Kui with an expression that basically said: "See that? My fame’s not bad at all—people recognize me at a glance."

Li Kui wanted to laugh, thinking: So what if you’re famous? Didn’t Lin Beichen still knock you flat with ease?

"And your so‑called fame wasn’t earned with real skill; it’s obviously all thanks to that red hair of yours, right?" Li Kui teased him with a grin.

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Red-haired didn’t catch on for a moment and didn’t understand what Li Kui meant about his dyed hair.

"It means exactly what it sounds like." Li Kui replied, still smiling.

Red-haired mulled it over for a bit before realizing Li Kui was joking about his hair. Instinctively he wanted to argue with Li Kui—after all, he couldn’t stand people making fun of his hair the most.

But right now he was under someone else’s roof and had to keep his head down. He could only swallow it for now, planning to settle accounts with Li Kui later if he got the chance.

Very soon, the person Red-haired had just talked to came over and said to him, "Our boss is here, come with me."

No one else said a word; they silently followed behind Red-haired. They were afraid of exposing their identities and making the other side sense something was off.

Precisely because of that, the other side assumed they were all Red-haired’s men.

Turn left, turn right, and a lavish office with its door wide open appeared before them.

The office was clean and neat, with a black leather, redwood sofa sitting in the center, looking proper and imposing.

There was also a painting with profound imagery hanging on the wall.

When Red-haired and the others came in, the person sitting in the main seat of the office raised his head and looked toward them.

As he looked at Red-haired, the arrangements he’d made before immediately surfaced in his mind—after all, Red-haired’s look was really unforgettable.

But when his gaze fell on Lin Beichen behind Red-haired, the pen in his hand suddenly slipped and fell onto the desk with a "clack."

"Why did you bring him here?" The man stood up, his eyes locked straight onto Lin Beichen.

Though he’d long wanted to meet Lin Beichen, to ask why he’d interfered with their plans and killed the people they were backing—

this wasn’t how he wanted it, with the other party taking the initiative to come to his door; that meant the initiative wasn’t in his own hands.

Seeing that the other side seemed to recognize him, Lin Beichen didn’t bother to hide anything and went straight to the point: "Oh? You know me?"

"How could I not? In the Golden Triangle, your name’s all over the place." The man didn’t mince words or beat around the bush; he came clean to Lin Beichen right away. He knew there was no need for any phony posturing now.

"Then you must also know that it was me who wiped out the Milo Family and the Beishi Mercenary Corps."

"Finding that out shouldn’t be that easy, right?" Lin Beichen asked with a smile, wanting to know how his identity had been exposed.

"You still underestimate Elephant Country’s military power." The man remained mysterious, refusing to directly say how they’d found out, as if afraid of leaking some secret.

"So tell me—why did you come to our Elephant Country? Why did you interfere with our plans?" The man didn’t seem to realize that he and Lin Beichen were not on equal footing now—or maybe he still thought the initiative was in his hands?

Unexpectedly, his tone was so domineering, full of interrogation, like as long as Lin Beichen didn’t answer, Elephant Country would have the ability to make him disappear.

Li Kui, Tyson, and Zhao Ligeng at the side were all furious, but facing the military power of Elephant Country, they knew this was no trivial matter. It wasn’t as simple as going up against a Mercenary Corps; this meant going up against the entire military strength of Elephant Country.

Granted, Elephant Country wouldn’t invest all its focus and power into dealing with them—they still had other domestic forces to handle—but even diverting a small portion would be enough to wipe out their Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps.

This was the enormous gap between civilian forces and national power.

But Lin Beichen clearly had his own confidence.

"Because you’ve been interfering with the Huaxia border." Lin Beichen’s eyes suddenly turned icy, and his aura instantly crushed the other side.

"You’re from the Huaxia Military?"

Hearing Lin Beichen’s words, the man’s expression changed at once. He muttered, "We should’ve guessed it earlier."

They just hadn’t expected the other side’s response to come so fast.

And not through official channels, but by covert action.

He could only sigh in his heart that they truly were a major international power—their strength and intelligence channels were both top‑tier.

To send someone this formidable.

"What, now that you know I’m with the Huaxia Military, you’re thinking of silencing me?"

"We’re well aware of what you Elephant Country people have been doing. Let me give you a warning: if you keep indulging the Golden Triangle’s criminal syndicates in harassing our Huaxia border, then it won’t just be me coming to clean up the Golden Triangle."

"It’ll be the whole of Elephant Country."

Li Kui, Tyson, and Zhao Ligeng listened on the side, blood surging with excitement. Lin Beichen’s words were insanely domineering—this was the confidence that comes from having a great power at your back.

It just goes to show that whatever you do, you need overwhelming strength behind you.

Hearing Lin Beichen’s words, the man in the office couldn’t help but imagine some terrifying consequences; his calves even began to tremble uncontrollably.

At that moment, Lin Beichen suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. He glanced back at Li Kui, Tyson, and Zhao Ligeng behind him.

Tyson and Zhao Ligeng went without saying—they’d been following him ever since he went to the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, and both were quite capable.

Of course, that was only compared to ordinary people.

Compared to a "freak" like Lin Beichen, Tyson and Zhao Ligeng’s strength was far behind.

As for Li Kui, although he hadn’t been with the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps as long as Tyson and Zhao Ligeng, he still counted as an old‑guard member.
